Setup Guide

NHT's Classic Series represents our best efforts

to date in passive loudspeaker design. Classic

starts with the design fundamentals that have

contributed to NHT's reputation for accuracy and

high performance, and then adds new driver and

cabinet technologies that reduce distortion and

improve dispersion. The benefit to you is a more

articulate and musical listening experience.

All Classic Series models share a similar "voice"

or tonality so that you are assured a matched

system no matter which models you decide to

add while you build your system.

Use this Setup Guide to help you unpack,

connect and place them your new Absolute Wall

Speaker system. If you are interested in more

Wall Speaker Applications

Unpacking your Speakers and

Assembly

There are a variety of placements and

applications possible. You can find the full

owners manual on line on the Absolute Wall

Speaker page or in the Service Center.

As you unpack your Absolute Wall speaker, you

will notice we have included some rubber pads

with adhesive backing (Fig. 1). You will need to

decide how you want to orient the speaker on the

wall, tweeter up or tweeter down. That will

determine where the keyhole bracket is to be

located. Then peal off the backing and stick

these near the two corners on the rear of the

speaker on the opposite side of the Keyhole

bracket as shown.

Mounting your speakers to the wall

The metal keyhole bracket (Fig 1.) on the back of

the speaker is designed to hang the speaker off a

single screw that sticks .20 inches (3/16") out of

the wall. The key hole mount can be moved to the

opposite end of the speaker if you need to invert

the speaker to get the tweeter closer the ear level

– this is particularly beneficial when mounting the

speaker higher on the wall.

WARNING! The speaker is HEAVY, be sure to

find a stud (the wooden kind) to fasten the screw

into. In absence of a stud – use suitable

hardware rated to support the Absolute Wall

Speaker's weight. Consider hiring a professional

to mount these speakers (and hide the wires).

Placement

The Absolute Wall speaker is designed for easy

placement. It is important to know that small

changes in speaker positioning can have an

effect on sound quality. Placing the speakers

closer to corners will increase bass output, but

also may make them sound "boomy." Placing

them farther away from corners and ceilings will

tend to flatten response and improve the stereo

imaging.

For stereo systems or when using the Absolute

Wall Speakers as front main speakers for your

home theater system try to position the speaker

1.5 times as far away from you as they are from

each other. (Fig. 2)

Here are some tips for incorporating your

Absolute Wall speakers in a surround system:

Place whatever center channel speaker you are

using either immediately above or below the TV.

Mount the rear or back speakers in as close to an

equilateral triangle as possible with the listening

position and at the same height, or higher than,

the front channels.

Please be sure to run your receiver's speaker

setup and optimization system. Usually a

microphone is included. Use it and check your

work when possible. Sometimes small changes

in microphone position and room furnishings can

make huge changes in results.

Connections

Grilles

Before connecting your Absolute Wall speakers

to your receiver/amplifier, turn off the AC power

to avoid potential damage to your components.

Take a look at the terminals on the back of your

speakers. They can accept raw wire, banana

plugs, BFA, banana or spade lugs. Note that

these terminals should be tightened only by hand,

as excess force can break them. We recommend

your speaker wire be at least 16 guage.

If connecting with bare wire, prepare the wires by

stripping 1/4" - 3/4" of insulation from the ends

and tightly twist the exposed strands. Make sure

there are no loose strands that could touch the

other terminal.

Finally, connect your speakers to your amplifier or

receiver, making sure that the speakers are "in

phase", see the online owner's manual for more

detail.

We have included grilles with the Absolute Wall

speakers. To attach them, carefully line up the

four pins on the back of the grille with the rubber

grommets on the front of the speaker. Fig.3
